Two years ago I tried to find a good old Roget's Thesaurus only to find out they merely print a synonym dictionary now. Everyone is producing synonym dictionaries now and calling them (mistakenly!) "Thesaurus in dictionary format". Yuck! They aren't nearly as useful as a REAL thesaurus. Anyone else out there sharing this lament? Better yet, does anyone know where to get a real thesaurus anymore? Stephen E.
